Ultimate Carrot Cake

Before I start, I'd like to clear something up - sometimes (or most of the time) things that you have planned, that you thought would be perfectly goes smoothly, might just crushing you, bit by bit. And you might ended up of having nothing at all.

One day, I was perfectly baking at home for families, then the anticipation grew and so I began baking for others. Until one day I just kept on having meltdowns in the kitchen.

It was fun. But I don't get the fun that I used to get back then.

Or maybe I was stressed out with few other things at the moment, which at times might look the best choice but most of the times made me ponder, 'Did I made a good decision?'.

So yeah, whatever. I am here.

I know I didn't post that much nowadays. But that's explained - I don't bake that much nowadays.

I was feeling mellow one day, my cousin brought this local carrots that was oh-so-sweet, left almost rotten on the rack (all of us forgot to check and keep it in the fridge!) and so I decided to bake, a carrot cake!

But this time, I went for something that was out from my comfortable zone when its come to carrot cake, I searched for a new one, The Ultimate Carrot Cake as what they claimed.

In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla essence (and pineapple). Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the carrot, pecans (and raisins).
